I have served on several Board of Directors of non-provfit organizations which were also 501 c3. We were extremely adamant about not violating the campaign provisions. Why should they be better than anybody else? In 2008, another scoff-law, Ron Johnson, Jr. of Crown Point, Ind. said, "...he must connect the dots because he is not sure that all members of his congregation can do so on their own" according to the Washington Post. If some so-called ministrr thinks I am too dumb to think for myself, I sure as hell would find a new church with a minister who would respect me. The law is the law.
